Claudia

Here is one of Claudia that I just loved.  She has such pretty eyes when she smiles.  She is so full of compassion and LOTS of energy.  A total  night owl like her mommy.  :)

Naomi

Now, that it's February I am finally looking through some pics of my own girls from last October that I had shot for our Christmas card.  It's fun when I finally have a little time to sit and look their smiling faces. It's like opening a gift when I can go through files and really look at the images of them.  I have been really focusing on family lately, that is what's important to us.  We are really digging in and making changes to help us get even closer.  One recent change we have done is eliminating television from our home.  I thought this would be really hard, but it wasn't that bad and it was one of the best things we have done.  We all have more time to play and relax and don't get stuck in the trap.  Even a few minutes in the morning of watching the news could really slow down our day.  I LOVE it!!!  Here is a picture of Naomi from the day we did our Christmas pics, I am sure I will post more of all the girls as the night goes on.  Not sure how long I will stay on the computer as I have made chocolate chip cookies and I may want to dive into those soon.  :)

Jessiegirlclothing

I had to post this picture of Claudia sporting a new dress from Jessiegirlclothing's spring line because I just love her expression.  She has a hard time ever standing still and she looks so serene here.  I am also loving this new hair pretty from Simply Glam.  They make some super cute unique looking hair accessories at resonable prices.  The ladies there are very nice to work with as well which makes my job super fun!!!  We are working on a spring catalog right now for Jessiegirlclothing and I can't wait for it to go to print.  I love seeing all the beautiful clothing diplayed with such energy on the little girlies. 

Spring!

In less than 6 weeks spring will be here and I just cannot wait!!!  I love to be outdoors going for a walk and playing with my girls.  I have been spending alot of time in the studio getting ready for some spring catalog shots lately, I will be sure to post some sneak peeks.  I have been posting pics on Facebook - under the Kimberly V Photography page.  Check them out and leave some feedback.  :)  I will write more later, snuggle request is coming in...

Locations

I think I need to send a special prize to Catherine for all her wonderful suggestions on location ideas.  That was a lot of work to come up with all those creative ideas and to type that up.  Will you send me your address so I can send you a goodie????  Thanks for all the LOVE!!!  Spring is coming!!!!  Next month!!!!

Jessiegirlclothing Spring 2011

Today was a fun day at the diner.  I packed up 4 girls along with lots of shoes, accessories and jewerly.  We headed out of town to our favorite diner for some spring pictures.  Today we were shooting the new spring line for Jessiegirlclothing.  She added some really fun new bright colors and fabrics.  I LOVE owls and was thrilled to see she added some to her new line and a matching one for our American Girl dolls (compliments of Uncle Matt).  It was quite a scene at the diner as we take the place over with all of our "stuff" and all the little ladies running around saying "when do we get our malts".  Oh my it was craziness.  Poor little Naomi got overwhelmed and had an absolute meltdown.  We were able to turn things around with a little ice-cream and got a few pics at the end.  We are planning to get out and do some more when there is not so much chaos to throw her off.  Thankfully my good friend Carollynn came to get her to smile by doing all her silly things behind my back (literally).  We have a new model in the bunch, her name is Natalie.  She is so kind and was wonderful to work with.  Hopefully we didn't scare her off by all our nutiness.  I posted the pics from todays shoot on my Facebok - become a fan and check them out.  I would LOVE your feedback.  Enjoy!

Spring 2011

As I'm snuggling in bed with Naomi the wind chill outside is 30 degrees below 0 and I am starting to think about spring!!!  It can only stay this cold for so long right?  We are gearing up to photograph some new spring lines this year and I'm so excited as the mailman comes each day with the beautiful new clothing.  We have gotton quite creative over the past year with fun places to shoot indoors - hair salon, laundry mat, diner, etc.  I would love to come up with some new fun places and some input would be awesome!!  Can any of you think of a fun place to shoot some pics indoors?  I need to have some light coming in so a window would be great.  Please post on the blog or Facebook if you have any ideas.  I am thinking I should do some kind of contest for the most creative place or where we shoot the new pieces.  Something for FREE!!!!!!!  Yippee!!!!!
